Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 True. It gives you the sense your about to stomp it flat and rid the world of one of the ugliest models in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanSturrock Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, I like the look of the Stormraven too. I know I'm in the minority, but I think its brutal, efficient-looking aesthetic is perfectly in keeping with the Astartes approach to war. If you want a *pretty* vehicle, go and play Tau or Eldar or something. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's not that it's ugly, it that it looks like it would be completely impossible for it to fly. And like a Happy Meal toy. Personally, I'd love a PDF Codex. PDF Codices are awesome. They're free, and then you get updated in the normal swing of things anyway, get all the cool stuff you got in the PDF plus a bunch of other stuff and still get to act all ungrateful about having the PDF in the first place. It would be good times for the DA, boys. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 PDF codices are very good. I played Blood Angels for a while simply because I downloaded their codex and liked the look of it, when I would ordinarily not have even glanced at it.

IanSturrock Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 To me, it looks like it only flies by burning vast quantities of some kind of highly radioactive and expensive exotic matter, messing up the entire planet's ecosystem and costing a small fortune every time it takes off. Which would be horrid, in the real world, but in the grimdark future is PURE AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 See, to me, that's what the Thunderhawk looks like. The Stormraven looks like it would be inherently unbalanced and kill several test pilots before eventually being scrapped as completely unviable. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsojVvad Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Speaking of PDF codex, someone mentioned that they played Blood Angels becuase of the free codex. Soooooooooooooooooooo, since all the SM got an updated FAQ, to sell more minis, do you think GW will change on there stance about not giving out anything for free, and will do a DA PDF short term codex like BA knowing that so many people will want to try it and would be able to sell more minis that way? Actually that should be the way it works, but for some reason, GW will think they can make more money selling codicies. Well I think a free PDF DA codex, could be the shot in the arm it needs to sell minis that everyone already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some truth here given the number of people who seem hell bent on buying Typhoons or Assault Terminators on the back of our 'free' upgrade :). Though in truth wouldn't be my preferred route :huh:. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard somewhere on the B&C that GW said they make marginal, if any, profit on the codexes. I think a PDF DA codex is very viable, especially now that there are two "new" kits and a FAQ upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSturrock Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 They should make all the codices free as PDFs. Gives people a chance to really suss out potential new armies. 90% of people are going to buy the print copy if they choose to actually play the army, and the other 10% will pirate them anyway.

Ozybonza Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 They wouldn't bother updating the FAQ if we were getting a codex anytime soon, evidenced by the fact that Daemonhunters didn't get an FAQ update and Grey Knights are the next codex. A huge surge in sales of Typhoons and thunder hammer terminators may convince them though :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 True. It gives you the sense your about to stomp it flat and rid the world of one of the ugliest models in existence. While it's true that the SR looks like it'll fly like a brick. I think the Caestus Assault Ram is even uglier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Actually, the ram look quite cool and not Tonka truck-like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eremiel Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 ....I am not about to waste all that money on the squads of termies just to find out that they are armed incorrectly. At least I can get my HQs, troops/fast attacks done.... eh. you already responded to my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
